LEADTOOLS Multimedia is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that allow attackers to overwrite arbitrary files. These issues affect multiple ActiveX controls.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to view a malicious HTML page.

Successfully exploiting these issues will allow the attacker to corrupt and overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's computer in the context of the vulnerable application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer).

LEADTOOLS Multimedia 15 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
